Los Blancos will take on the Gunners in the second leg of the quarterfinals in the Champions League.
Los Blancos suffered a huge defeat in the first leg as they were completely outclassed by the Gunners.
Real Madrid were lucky not to concede more than three goals as Thibaut Courtois made some brilliant saves in the game. Los Blancos have a great record at the Bernabeu in the Champions League.
They will look to make a comeback in the second leg. Madrid were the favourites in this tie. But now, the Gunners have a great opportunity to make it into the semifinals.
This season has been full of ups and downs for Carlo Ancelotti’s men. The players and the coaching staff are under a lot of pressure. The home team will have to play their best game of the season to make a comeback on Thursday.
Mikel Arteta’s men won the first leg in a dominating fashion. They deserved to score more goals. Arsenal are unbeaten against Real Madrid and will hope to keep their record intact against them when both teams lock horns in the second leg.
After the first leg win, the tables have turned. Now the Gunners are the favourites to go into the Semi-Final. During these kinds of fixtures, Arteta prefers to play low block. Surely, he will make a plan to counter Madrid’s attacking prowess. This will be a mouthwatering clash, for sure.
Eder Militao, Dani Carvajal, Ferland Mendy and Andiry Lunin are all injured for the Los Blancos. Eduardo Camavinga will be suspended for this match as he got a red card in the first leg. The rest of the players are fit to play.
The Gunners will miss Gabriel, Riccardo Calafiori, Kai Havertz, Gabriel Jesus and Takehiro Tomiyasu due to injuries.
